Hypnotherapy for Herpes: A Mind-Body Approach to Healing

A herpes diagnosis often comes with more than just physical symptoms. It can stir shame, isolation, anxiety, and frustration, especially when traditional treatments focus solely on the body. This 6-session hypnotherapy bundle offers a holistic alternative that is rooted in evidence-based practices. Sessions work to regulate stress, heal shame and stigma associated with the diagnosis, strengthen the immune system, build supportive habits to reduce the likelihood of outbreaks, and grow confidence.

Let’s Talk About Herpes and Shame

For so many, a herpes diagnosis is made even harder by the shame and stigma associated with it. Despite herpes being incredibly prevalent — an estimated 67% of the global population under 50 is believed to have it — many people still feel embarrassed and isolated in their journeys. This is especially true for those living with genital herpes.

The burden of that shame taxes every part of us. It can create chronic stress, impact nervous system regulation, and lead to cycles of fear, anxiety, and self-judgment. In some cases, people begin to disconnect from their bodies, avoid intimacy, or internalize beliefs that something is “wrong” with them.

You are not your diagnosis. Hypnotherapy offers a way to untangle from these stories and reclaim power and dignity. In this work, we gently rewire subconscious beliefs, restore a sense of wholeness, and support your nervous system in moving out of chronic fear and back into safety, trust, and confidence.

What This Bundle Supports

This 6-session series is customized to each person, so variation is expected. Sessions can include:

  • Immune system support

  • Addressing emotional roots: shame, grief, anger, or guilt

  • Reducing stress and nervous system reactivity, improving sleep

  • Improving body confidence and sexual self-esteem

  • Working with your triggers to reduce outbreaks (including dietary or other lifestyle changes, cycle support, and more)

  • Finding meaning and purpose

How Hypno-therapy Helps

Hypnotherapy works by accessing the subconscious mind, where our core beliefs, stress responses, and patterns are stored. From this space, we can re-train the mind and body’s response to chronic or recurring conditions.

For herpes, hypnotherapy may help by:

  • Reducing stress (a known outbreak trigger)

  • Strengthening immune function through imagery and relaxation

  • Releasing internalized shame that may impact healing and relationships

  • Creating new subconscious associations with your body and sexuality

  • Supporting lifestyle and behavioral shifts with greater ease

Clinical studies have shown hypnotherapy can impact immune response, pain perception, stress reduction, and emotional regulation, making it a complementary approach for managing HSV-1 and HSV-2. You can read more about the evidence supporting this in this blog post.

What to Expect

We’ll begin with a 45-minute intake consultation held virtually. This first session is a chance for me to understand your journey, goals, and the specific challenges you’re navigating. From there, we move into a series of customized hypnotherapy sessions, each lasting 45–60 minutes.

Sessions are typically spaced 2–3 weeks apart and can be held virtually or in-person in Wilmington, NC. You’ll receive an audio recording after each session, along with guidance for self-hypnosis practice between meetings. Practicing self-hypnosis a few times a week helps deepen the work and reinforce the desired changes.

I see hypnotherapy as a bridge that connects where a client is and where they wish to be. Together, we can find greater purpose and meaning to life's twists and turns, and we can align you with experiences that help you feel free and empowered. Nobody’s health conditions or diagnoses should feel like a life-sentence.
